Everybody busy harvesting: lots of the
wheat has to be cut with a header.
Rev. Latta of Wisconsin, brother of A.
w., arrived here Tuesday with a carload
of cattle to winter. Everything is SO
barren on account of drouth that he had
to hunt greener pastures. SO much for
Dakota!
Several of our people went down to see
10 10. One fellow was on the lookout
for red elephant, which he had been
told they would exhibit. He came back
very much disgusted.
Carpenters are at work building the
n. d. warehouse at this place.
C.B. Stewart, of the Gladstone isvisit-
ing his uncle Alb. Latta.
Rev. Ewing of jamestown was here
and organized Sunday school a week
ago and last Sunday we commenced In
earnest with an attendance of thirty
three. One old gentleman came with
what he s'posed to be his bible, but to
his disgust after he got there he dis
covered it was his horse doctor book.
Col. Gilman is improving since his re-
turn but has not yet been able to come to
town.
J.H. Hubbell of Kansas has bought
the Cause place west of here and is on
hand with carload of machinery. HIS
family are coming over land and will be
here in three or four weeks. Mr.. 81. is
quite rustler and just the kind of neigh
bors we want. They are welcomed by all.
Albert Wilds friends will be glad to
learn he is convalescing slowly.
Sam Mathews is around town to-day
with pail of water, hunting for grind
stone to sharpen his carpenter tools on.
H. NJ. Taber is here looking after his
farming interests.

Minis Richelfeu.

The character of Richelieu is one OF the
most difficult to portray truthfully. The
actor must assume premature age With
out senility, physical weakness and great
mental and moral power, and In spite OF
extreme infrmity of the whole physical
man, must compel to submission and
control the movements OF all who ap-
proach him by the sheer force OF dignity,
his intellect and his will. To convey this
impression Of greatness and supremacy
through the voice and gestures of fee
BILE body, tottering on the verge OF Inc
grave. is that which one is not surprised
to find difficult for Mr.. Min to accom-
plish, since Booth himself cannot 90 1t.
Besides all this, it must be remembered
that in writing the drama Lord Lytton
tried to give true picture Of a man who
actnally lived and worked. The author
did not draw the character from lmagln-
alton. therefore the actor should not
make such sudden and violent changes
from weakness to vigor, as would be
nhysicallv impossible. It seemed last
n1Ght that the flashes of strength when
the Cardinal was reused, presupposed too
much physical power remaining IN nm.
The voice of Richelleu must be that OF
broken down man, but not necessarily
rough or rasping, and Of al! things rant
or any approach to it would be lmpossl-
BILE to such parsonage. Mr.. Min was
evidently suffering last night from hoarse-
ness caused by too constant use OF his
voice during the changeable weather.
Miss Payne, as Julie de Mortimer. was
excellent and received much applause
She appears in this play to much better
advantage than in Merchant OF Venice
Mr.. Chas. Theodore takes the part OF Jo-
seph well, but his broad burlesque IN
Merchant of Vedice is better appreciated.
The support generally was good; 1t Is q
pleasure to listen to the flowing lines ana

HE Aberdeen Republican has met one
of Stutsman county's able rustlers, and
pictures him truthfully as follows to its
readers:
J. w. Goodrich was in our city two
weeks ago looking up railroad ma..a r
around Aberdeen. He stated:at, socie.
would soon finish his contract fromf' T..
Moure to Edgeley. Mr.. Goodrich is one
of the largest operators in railroad build
ing and wheat and stock raising around
jamestown. and above all is one of the
ablest rustlers for democracy in Dakota.
He goes down deep in his pocket IN
campaign and does not allow the enemy
to sleep much in political fight. We
had pleasant visit from him while here,
and from his conversation it is evident
that he begins to snuff the scent Of bat
tie in 'SS. He is confident the party can
win in this territory and nationally, with
GOOD. triedand true war horses for lead
ers. Such men are the ones that can be
depended on when the tug of war comes,
and they will be there when the boys
meet again in convention to place their
choice in command, to lead them on to
victory in closing out the remaining re-
publican majority in this territory.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 17.-The secretary
of tie interior has revoked the order
Withdrawing indemnity lands from set
tlement, and has directed the commits
sioner to throw them all open to pre-
emptaon and homestead settlers. The
fun will now begin In the case of the
Northern Pacific the order will place p
361, 900 acres on the market and subject

above is not surveyed and settlers must

unsurveyed lands, however, are all west

Elements. There will be little or no oc-
cupation in odvance OF the surveys.
When surveyed the railroad company can
reach the U. S. land Office as soon as any
one and If armed with legal selections,
can select all of these lands, except in
case of settlers already on the land.
These will be SO few that the railroad
company will practically get all they
think they are entitled to. If the lose
any, it will be only few thousand acres,
taken by actual settlers whose settle
ments and improvements will more than
compensate them for the acreage they
lose. East of the Missouri river in Da-
kota the indemnity lands have all been
surveyed and selected only few town.

Investigating the Accident.
PEORIA. ILL.,, Aug. 1.-THE state rail
road and warehouse commission are in
session here, General Rinaker in the
chair. Superintendent Armstrong was
the first witness called to the stand. He
testified that the brakes were set on the
train and that this was few seconds be-
fore he saw the fire. All the cars were in
good order when they started. He did
not believe In the incendiary theory, but
thought that double header was safer
than running train in two sections,
Five minutes after the accident he exam
ined the bridge and found the piling and
caps almost intact, strong enough IN fact
he thought to have laid stringers on them
for temporary bridge. The bridge was
a pile and bent bridge, fifteen feet long,
and had been reported in good condition
by the bridge inspectors on May l4th.
Mr.. Armstrong could only guess at the
speed of the excursion tram, but thought
it was thirty or thirty-fve miles an hour
They were not endeavoring to make up
time. He had talked with both of the
engineers on that subject at Gridley, and
told them that it was not necessary: that
there was plenty of time in which to get
to Niagara Falls.

Medicines.

M SsQlClneS.
What are they? As a, general thing
they are prescriptions having been ussd
with great success by old and we'll read
physicians. Thousands of in.alids have
been unexpectedly cured by dheir use,
and they are the wonder and dread OF
physicians and Medical colleges in the
United States, SO much so, that physi-
clans graduating at Medical colleges are
required to disoountepance Proprietary
medicines, as through them the country
doctor loses his most profitable practice.
As manufacturer Of Proprietary aedi-
eines, DR.. G. G. Green, of Woodbury. n.
J., advocates most cordially. order to
prevent the risk that the sick and atf1le1-
ed are most liable to, almost daily by the
use of patent medicines put ,oat by mex
perienced persons for aggrandizement
only, and the employing Of inexperienced
and incompetent doctors by which almost
every village and town is cursed; and
men claiming to be doctors who bad bet
ter be undertakers, experimenting with
their patients and robbing them OF their
money and health,--for the good OF the
afflicted that our government protect ITS
people by making laws to regulate the
practice of medicines by better experienc-
ed and more thoroughly educated physi-
clans, and thereby keep up the honor
and credit of the profession, also form
laws for the recording of recipes of Pro
prietary medicines, under examination
and decision of experienced chemists and
phosicians appointed for that purpose by
the government, before they are licensed
for general use. He would most freely
place the recipe Of Bochees German Syr-
up and Greene's August Flower under
such laws, had he the proper protection,
and thereby save the prejudices OF the
people, and avoid the competition and
imitation of worthless medicines. Copied
from the Chicago Mail. Aug. B, 81.
